This should now be accessible through parallel read()s and prevents
multiple open() (I think this shouldn't be a problem, as the device 
has no ioctl()s and can't be written to).

I made a patch against vanilla 2.6.7. Some questions remain:

- - Any suggestions about where to announce this, so maybe someone
  else can test it with, e.g, an ID Mouse Professional?

- - Will it be incorporated into one of the next kernel releases?

- - Are there any issues left that I may have overlooked?

Yours, Florian
